Not good Thrush

PMSL at the tags.

 

ha ha at all the people who ar going on about pepole being to lazy to find work, quit your jobs and go see if you can get one. look at the job centre plus website there might be jobs on there but you ring up....Sorry sir that job is taken"

Believe me it is grim out there... im a mechanic, hgv driver, plumber and can pretty much turn my hand to most things but its hard finding work..no one is spending...

 

Mate of mine is a student and went for an interview stacking shelves at a supermarket at night.

50 applicants for 2 jobs.

So thas 48 people who tried and failed to get a job stacking shelves.

Its definately grim out there at the moment, loads of people out of work who dont want to be.
I would hate to not have a job at the moment!

 

I was ready to walk out of my place just after xmas, totally had enough. Ended up booking 2 weeks off work almost straight away and just did what i want to do for a change. So refreshed and ready for work again now, makes a difference.

 

i've been offered loads of coach driving work, but can't relly give up the fll time job at the moent, so i think it;'s a case of who yo uknow rather than what you know as far as pulling strings goes

 

i lost my job before christmas as a roller shutter & garage door engineer with kone bolton brady dont give a shite when i lost it and dont now i was pissed off with 24hr callouts driving around the fucking midlands 1am ect i do my own thing now and started up as a garage door & roller shutter repairs and start work when i want and undercut the big companys big time.

 

I walked out of my job last july. Wasnt bad money but the job was shite. Was there 10 years. Everyone said i was mad for walking out because of reccession, etc, but i got myself another job. Not as much money, but i love the job which makes me alot happier at work & at home.
Sometimes things are for the best. It will work out for you in the long run i reckon. Did for me. You might regret it monday like i did but that soon wears off.

 

i havent got on well with the new owners where i work but have stuck it out for the last year till i find another job that pays just as well

matt good luck with finding another job soon m8

 

.. Lifes too short to be stuck in a job you hate, you will wake up tomorrow and feel like a HUGE weight has been lifted off your shoulders ...

Now, strike while the Iron is hot and do somthing you REALLY wanted to do before There are jobs everywhere if you look

 

thats easy to say when your an outsider. in this trade there is very little or no jobs about..he probably does has gis own tools but to set up alone needs cash..for a van, other equipment like hoover,bond gun,lifters etc etc..and a few glass suppliers wont even let you have glass,glue etc from them unless you have an advert in the yellow pages, which is again more expense..sometimes more is needed than positive thinking

 

If you think its that easy to walk into another job then fair play to ya

 

i know what you are saying, but i think he's been in the business long enough to know what's what and which tools he's going to need to keep

even going around the local garages/bodyshops offering to pull screens out etc for a few quid might get him enough work to get noticed while he hunts about for something else that might not be in the same line of work

 

I remember my boss advertising through the job centre last year for an apprentice / general dogsbody for the workshop. Shitty wage and everything.

It went on their website at 8am that morning, by 10am 40 people had phoned and the job centre was called to take the ad off their site. It was more suited to someone about 16 odd but we still had guys in their 40's desperate for any work!

Infact that reminds me for that job we did start someone in their late 30's..he lasted one morning before he realised what he'd let himself in for.

 

i lost my job couple week back , it was a fucking set up tbh !
im 17 and it was comein up too a year and i would be sent too collage extra pay ect ... they have done it before to other people my age
but i wasnt happy there so they done me a favor really and if you look hard engough you will get a job !
